Catalog Number: MOVLP3643C Color: Green Format: LP UPC: 8719262032965 Philadelphian Jazz legend Benny Golson, an American bebop/hard bop jazz tenor saxophonist, composer, and arranger, has had a long and storied career. He has played with luminaries such as John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie and Art Blakey, to name just a few. His credentials are rock solid and his skills as a tenor sax legend are undisputed. With his 1978 album I'm Always Dancin' To The Music, Benny Golson takes a unique turn. Known primarily for his hard bop roots and classic compositions like "Whisper Not" and "Killer Joe," Golson steps into the realms of jazz-funk and disco with this release, reflecting the musical trends of the late 1970s. The title song is a stellar dance groove, holding heavyweight status among underground soul, funk, and jazz aficionados--a true 'rare groove' indeed. Produced by George Butler, whose credentials are no less than impressive, it's no wonder the instrumental hook of this title song has been sampled many times by artists such as Naughty by Nature, Logistics, Leona Lewis, and many others. Everything of this album--music, engineering, mastering--is top-notch, making this somewhat of an audiophile release as well. This is a real hidden gem and well worth seeking out!
